819 EP passed up

EP passed up is measured against the highest-EP item on each roll. Taking it every time is not the winning strategy — passing EP up to keep a scarce slot open, chase a set bonus or bank something better is often right — so read this as somewhere to look rather than a scoreline. The widest gap was roll 4 at Kael'thas Sunstrider.
